Great Expectations

March 25, 1987

THE SENTINEL carried an article describing a series of incidents of bigotry on college campuses. The subheadline read: ''Some blame Reagan administration for part of national mood.'' (At least one dictionary defines the word ''some'' as an ''unspecified number.'')

Only one person was quoted in the article attaching Reagan to the events and this person's credentials to make such a fatuous inference were not disclosed.

I expect any day now a solemn article in the Sentinel explaining that the rise of athletes' foot cases or the increase in the pains of childbirth can be confidently attributed to some infamous action by the Reagan administration.
